hello 

I'm Avanita 

/Uh-vuh-NEE-ta/

I’m a User Experience Designer with 3+ years of professional experience crafting intuitive systems across B2B SaaS, B2C, and immersive tech. I’ve worked across industries like AI, cybersecurity, fintech, e-commerce, hospitality, and IoT, blending research, systems thinking, and creative iteration.

I recently completed my Master’s in Design at Carnegie Mellon University, where I focused on designing for complexity and emerging technologies.

My design journey began nearly 8 years ago in architectural design, which shaped my understanding of space, behavior, and human-centered thinking.

Closing in on a year of learning Mandarin on Duolingo! 
Ask me about the time my Duolingo learnt Mandarin put me in an awkward situation 😐

That time I almost went viral on Reddit... 
I don't know if 180 comments count as viral, but I like to think of myself as some sort of a celebrity after this.. 

How do I design Interactions ? 

To me designing interactions is one these paths in the diagram below, depending on the circumstance, this chart can be read from either directions, for interactions in digital systems, we think of who we are designing for, why we are designing, How would we like to implement these designs and where would they finally be embedded in. These decisions help me understand the role my designed interactions would play in the overall experience. 

Where do I stand as an Interaction Designer ? 

Sure, I approach design with a human-centered lens, weaving in empathy and emotions, but for me, human-centered thinking delves deeper. It's about recognizing that great products emerge from a blend of negative and positive experiences. I'm just here, navigating this realm, aiming to strike that delicate balance between challenges and triumphs in every design endeavor.
